Evidence Grading System
Clear evidence from well-conducted, generalizable RCTs, that are adequately powered, including Evidence from a well-conducted multicenter trial or meta-analysis that incorporated quality ratings in the analysis; Compelling nonexperimental evidence; Supportive evidence from well-conducted RCTs that are adequately powered B Supportive evidence from a well-conducted cohort studies Supportive evidence from a well-conducted case-control study C Supportive evidence from poorly controlled or uncontrolled studies Conflicting evidence with the weight of evidence supporting the recommendation E Expert consensus or clinical experience Here is the Association’s evidence grading system in use for these clinical practice recommendations, used to clarify and codify the evidence that forms the basis for each of the recommendations in the 2016 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. The level of evidence that supports each recommendation is listed after each recommendation using the letters A, B, C, or E. As we proceed through this presentation you’ll see these grades next to each of the recommendations listed. I won’t call them out each time, but they’re there for your reference. [SLIDE]

Key Recommendations Treatment decisions should be timely and based on evidence-based guidelines that are tailored to patient preferences, prognoses, and comorbidities. B Providers should consider the burden of treatment and self-efficacy of patients when recommending treatments. E A few key recommendations are intended to cover all sections of the Standards of Care and include: Treatment decisions should be timely and based on evidence-based guidelines that are tailored to patient preferences, prognoses, and comorbidities. Providers should consider the burden of treatment and self-efficacy of patients when recommending treatments. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Key Recommendations (2)
Treatment plans should align with Chronic Care Model, emphasizing productive interactions between a prepared proactive practice team and an informed activated patient. A When feasible, care systems should support team-based care, community involvement, patient registries, and decision support tools to meet patient needs. B Care should be aligned with components of the Chronic Care Model to ensure productive interactions between a prepared proactive practice team and an informed activated patient.

Care Delivery Systems 33-49% of patients still do not meet targets for A1C, blood pressure, or lipids. 14% meet targets for all A1C, BP, lipids, and nonsmoking status. Progress in CVD risk factor control is slowing. Substantial system-level improvements are needed. Delivery system is fragmented, lacks clinical information capabilities, duplicates services & is poorly designed. Over the last ten years we’ve seen steady improvement in the proportion of patients with diabetes who are treated with statins and achieving recommended levels for A1C, blood pressure, and LDL, but nevertheless, 33-49% of patients still do not meet targets for glycemic, blood pressure, or cholesterol control, and [CLICK] only 14% meet targets for all three measures plus nonsmoking status. [CLICK] Evidence also suggests that our progress in control of cardiovascular disease is slowing. [CLICK] Even after adjusting for patient factors, the persistent variation in quality of diabetes care across providers and practice settings indicates that there is potential for substantial system-level improvements. [CLICK] A major barrier to optimal care is a delivery system that is often fragmented, lacks clinical information capabilities, duplicates services, and is poorly designed for the coordinated delivery of chronic care.

Chronic Care Model Six Core Elements: Delivery system design
Self-management support Decision support Clinical information systems Community resources & policies Health systems But we know that the chronic care model has been shown to be an effective framework for improving the quality of diabetes care. The CCM includes six core elements for the provision of optimal care of patients with chronic disease: Delivery system design, or moving from a reactive to a proactive care delivery system where planned visits are coordinated through a team-based approach), Self-management support, Decision support (basing care on evidence-based, effective care guidelines), Clinical information systems, including using registries that can provide patient-specific and population-based support to the care team Community resources and policies, such as identifying or developing resources to support healthy lifestyles), and Health systems that create a quality-oriented culture [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Strategies for System-Level Improvement
Three Key Objectives Optimize Provider and Team Behavior Support Patient Self-Management Change the Care System Efforts to improve population health will require a combination of patient-level and system-level approaches. [CLICK] The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) maintains an online resource ( to help health care professionals design and implement more effective health care delivery systems for those with diabetes at a systems level. Three specific objectives for system-level improvement are to Optimize Provider and Team Behavior [CLICK] Support Patient Self-Management [CLICK] Change the Care System [CLICK] Let’s look at these three specific objectives in more detail… [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Promoting Health and Reducing Disparities in Populations. Diabetes Care 2017; 40 (Suppl. 1): S6-S10 11
12
Objective 1: Optimize Provider and Team Behavior
For patients who have not achieved beneficial levels of control in blood pressure, lipids, or glucose, the care team should prioritize timely & appropriate intensification of lifestyle and/or pharmaceutical therapy. Strategies include: Explicit goal setting with patients Identifying and addressing language, numeracy, and/or cultural barriers to care Integrating evidence-based guidelines Incorporating care management teams Objective 1: Optimize Provider and Team Behavior The care team should prioritize timely and appropriate intensification of lifestyle and/or pharmaceutical therapy of patients who have not achieved beneficial levels of blood pressure, lipid, or glucose control1 As outlined on this slide, the following [CLICK] strategies each have been shown to optimize provider and team behavior and thereby catalyze reduction in A1C, blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol2 Explicit goal setting with patients Identifying and addressing language, numeracy, or cultural barriers to care Integrating evidence-based guidelines and clinical information tools into the process of care; and Incorporating care management teams including nurses, pharmacists, and other providers [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Objective 2: Support Patient Self-management
Implement a systematic approach to support patient behavior change efforts, including: Healthy lifestyle Disease self-management Prevention of diabetes complications Identification of self-management problems and development of strategies to solve those problems The second objective in helping health care professionals design and implement more effective health care delivery systems for our patients with diabetes is supporting patient behavior change, including: Healthy lifestyle, which includes physical activity, healthy eating, tobacco cessation, weight management, and strategies for effective coping. Disease self-management, including taking and managing medication, self-monitoring of blood glucose and blood pressure, and Prevention of diabetes complications, which includes self-monitoring of foot health, active participation in screening for eye, foot, and renal complications, and immunizations. Identification of self-management problems and development of strategies to solve those problems, including self-selected behavioral goal setting [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Objective 3: Change the Care System
Successful practices prioritize providing a high quality of care. Changes that have been shown to increase quality of care include: Basing care on evidence-based guidelines Expanding the role of teams to implement more intensive disease management strategies Redesigning the care process Implementing electronic health record tools Activating and educating patients Finally, the third objective, Change the System of Care An institutional priority in most successful care systems is providing a high quality of care. Changes that have been shown to increase quality of diabetes care include: basing care on evidence-based guidelines; [CLICK] expanding the role of teams to implement more intensive disease management strategies; [CLICK] redesigning the care process; [CLICK] implementing electronic health record tools; [CLICK] activating and educating patients, (continued on next slide) [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Objective 3: Change the Care System (2)
Successful practices prioritize providing a high quality of care. Changes that have been shown to increase quality of care include: Removing financial barriers and reducing patient out-of-pocket costs Identifying community resources and public policy that supports healthy lifestyles Coordinated primary care, e.g., through Patient-Centered Medical Home Changes to reimbursement structure Objective 3: Change the System of Care removing financial barriers and reducing patient out-of-pocket costs for diabetes education, eye exams, self-monitoring of blood glucose, and necessary medications, [CLICK] Identifying, developing, and engaging community resources and public policy that support healthy lifestyles; [CLICK] Initiatives such as the Patient-Centered Medical Home show promise for improving outcomes through coordinated primary care and offer new opportunities for team-based chronic disease care; and finally, [CLICK] Additional strategies to improve diabetes care include reimbursement structures that reward the provision of appropriate and high-quality care, and incentives that accommodate personalized care goals. In sum, optimal diabetes management requires an organized, systematic approach and the involvement of a coordinated team of dedicated health care professionals working in an environment where patient-centered high-quality care is a priority.

Tailoring Treatment to Reduce Disparities
Key Recommendation Providers should assess social context, including potential food insecurity, housing stability, and financial barriers, and apply that information to treatment decisions. A In this section, we’ll discuss the Association’s recommended approach to reducing disparities in populations [CLICK] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

22
Staging of Type 1 Diabetes
Characterization of the underlying pathophysiology of diabetes is much more developed in type 1 diabetes than in type 2 diabetes. Three distinct stages of type 1 diabetes can be identified and serve as a framework for future research and regulatory decision making. The rate of progression is dependent on the age at first detection of antibody, number of antibodies, antibody specificity, and antibody titer. Glucose and A1C levels rise well before the clinical onset of diabetes, making diagnosis feasible well before the onset of DKA. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Classification and diagnosis of diabetes.

23
Criteria for the Diagnosis of Diabetes
Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) OR 2-h plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an OGTT A1C ≥6.5% Classic diabetes symptoms + random plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) Criteria for the Diagnosis of Diabetes Fasting plasma glucose, the 2 hour plasma glucose after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, and A1C are equally appropriate diagnostic tests for diabetes. These diagnostic criteria are: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥126 mg/dL OR 2-hour plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL during an OGTT A1C ≥6.5% Or in a patient with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia a random plasma glucose ≥ 200 can also be used. In the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, the result should be confirmed by repeat testing. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Classification and diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetes Care 2017; 40 (Suppl. 1): S11-S24 Reference American Diabetes Association. Standards of medical care in diabetes—2014.

24
Recommendations: Type 1 Diabetes
Blood glucose rather than A1C should be used to dx type 1 diabetes in symptomatic individuals. E Screening for type 1 diabetes with an antibody panel is recommended only in the setting of a clinical research study or in a first-degree family members of a proband with type 1 diabetes. B Moving on to type 1 diabetes diagnosis and screening recommendations, these patients often present with acute symptoms of diabetes and markedly elevated blood glucose levels, and some cases are diagnosed with life-threatening ketoacidosis. In these cases, knowing the blood glucose level is critical because, in addition to confirming that symptoms are due to diabetes mellitus, this will inform management decisions. Some providers may also want to know the A1C to determine how long a patient has had hyperglycemia. Therefore the Association recommends that blood glucose rather than A1c should be used to diagnose acute onset type 1 diabetes in those with symptoms of hyperglycemia. [CLICK] While there is currently a lack of accepted screening programs, consider referring relatives of those with type 1 diabetes for antibody testing for risk assessment in the setting of a clinical research study, which can be identified at diabetestrialnet.org. Persistence of two or more autoantibodies predicts clinical diabetes and may serve as an indication for intervention in the setting of a clinical trial.

Recommendations: Prediabetes
Screening for prediabetes with an informal assessment of risk factors or validated tools should be considered in asymptomatic adults. B Testing should begin at age 45 for all people. B Consider testing for prediabetes in asymptomatic adults of any age w/ BMI ≥25 kg/m2 or ≥23 kg/m2 (in Asian Americans) who have 1 or more add’l risk factors for diabetes. B If tests are normal, repeat at a minimum of 3-year intervals. C Recommendations: Prediabetes Screening for prediabetes with an informal assessment of risk factors or validated tools should be considered in asymptomatic adults. [CLICK] The Association recommends testing all adults beginning at age 45 years, regardless of weight. [CLICK] Testing is also recommended for asymptomatic adults of any age who are overweight or obese and who have one or more additional risk factors for diabetes. [CLICK] If tests are normal, the Association recommends repeat testing at least every 3 years. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Classification and diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetes Care 2017; 40 (Suppl. 1): S11-S24 25
26
Recommendations: Prediabetes (2)
FPG, 2-h PG after 75-g OGTT, and A1C, are equally appropriate for prediabetes testing. B In patients with prediabetes, identify and, if appropriate, treat other CVD risk factors. B Consider prediabetes testing in overweight/obese children and adolescents with 2 or more add’l diabetes risk factors. E Recommendations: Prediabetes (2) Any of the three tests we discussed a few slides ago– FPG, OGTT, or A1C-- are appropriate tests for prediabetes; [CLICK] In your patients with prediabetes, do identify and treat other cardiovascular risk factors as appropriate. [CLICK] And finally, consider prediabetes testing in overweight or obese children and adolescents when they have 2 or more additional risk factors.

OR 2-h plasma glucose 140–199 mg/dL (7.8–11.0 mmol/L): IGT A1C 5.7–6.4% Prediabetes* * For all three tests, risk is continuous, extending below the lower limit of a range and becoming disproportionately greater at higher ends of the range. Here are the diagnostic cutpoints for prediabetes across the three tests. Note that risk is continuous, extending below the lower limit of a range and becoming disproportionately greater at higher ends of the range.

Recommendations: Testing for Type 2 Diabetes
Screening for type 2 diabetes with an informal assessment of risk factors or validated tools should be considered in asymptomatic adults. B Consider testing in asymptomatic adults of any age with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 or ≥23 kg/m2 in Asian Americans who have 1 or more add’l dm risk factors. B For all patients, testing should begin at age 45 years. B If tests are normal, repeat testing carried out at a minimum of 3-year intervals is reasonable. C Type 2 diabetes, previously referred to as “non-insulin-dependent diabetes” or “adult-onset diabetes,” accounts for 90–95% of all diabetes. This form encompasses individuals who have insulin resistance and usually relative (rather than absolute) insulin deficiency. At least initially, and often throughout their lifetime, patients with type 2 diabetes may not need insulin treatment to survive. These recommendations look just like the screening recommendations for prediabetes, so we won’t spend more time on them. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Screening for Type 2 Diabetes (2)
FPG, 2-h PG after 75-g OGTT, and the A1C are equally appropriate. B In patients with diabetes, identify and, if appropriate, treat other CVD risk factors. B Consider testing for T2DM in overweight/obese children and adolescents with 2 or more add’l diabetes risk factors.

Risk factors for Prediabetes and T2D
This slide shows the ADA’s list of risk factors for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. If asymptomatic adults who are overweight or obese have one or more of the risk factors shown here, then they are candidates for testing for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes using the FPG, OGTT, or A1C test. Alternately, screening tools, such as ADA’s risk test, available at can also identify patients who should be tested for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Classification and diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetes Care 2017; 40 (Suppl. 1): S11-S24 30
31
Criteria for Testing for T2DM in Children & Adolescents
Overweight plus any 2 : Family history of type 2 diabetes in 1st or 2nd degree relative Race/ethnicity Signs of insulin resistance or conditions associated with insulin resistance Maternal history of diabetes or GDM Age of initiation 10 years or at onset of puberty Frequency: every 3 years Test with FPG, OGTT, or A1C In children and adolescents, the criteria are a little different. The Association recommends screening for type 2 diabetes or prediabetes in asymptomatic children and adolescents when they meet the criteria of overweight plus any two additional risk factors, including: • Family history of type 2 diabetes in first- or second-degree relative; • Race/ethnicity (Native American, African American, Latino, Asian American, Pacific Islander); • Signs of insulin resistance or conditions associated with insulin resistance, such as acanthosis nigricans, hypertension, dyslipidemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, or small-for-gestational-age birth weight; • Maternal history of diabetes or GDM during the child’s gestation; [CLICK] Begin testing either at puberty or at age 10, whichever comes first; and test every 3 years after that. [CLICK] Some evidence suggests that the FPG and OGTT are more appropriate tests than A1C for children and adolescents. While the American Diabetes Association acknowledges the limited data supporting A1C for diagnosing diabetes in children and adolescents, the ADA, aside from rare instances, such as cystic fibrosis and hemoglobinopathies, continues to recommend A1C in this cohort.

Screening for & Diagnosis of GDM
Gestational diabetes diagnosis can be accomplished with either of two strategies, which we’ll walk through next. [SLIDE] 34
35
One-Step Strategy At weeks gestation in women not previously dx’d with overt diabetes 75-g OGTT; Measure plasma glucose at fasting and at 1 and 2 hours. GDM dx’d when plasma glucose exceeds: Fasting: 92 mg/dL (5.1 mmol/L) 1 h: 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L) 2 h: 153 mg/dL (8.5 mmol/L) First, the one-step strategy, which consists of a 75g OGTT. In women between 24 and 28 weeks gestation not previously diagnosed with overt diabetes, perform a 75-g OGTT in the morning after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours. Measure plasma glucose measurement fasting and at 1 and 2 hours. Gestational diabetes is diagnosed if the fasting glucose is higher than 92 mg per dL, if the 1 hour glucose is higher than 180, or if the 2 hour is over 153.

36
Two-Step Strategy Step 1:
In women not previously dx’d with overt diabetes, perform 50-g GLT (nonfasting); Measure plasma glucose at 1 hour. If 1 hour plasma glucose level is ≥140 mg/dL* (7.8 mmol/L), proceed to step 2. *ACOG recommends either 135 mg/dL or 140 mg/dL in high-risk ethnic minorities with higher prevalence of GDM. And here’s the 2-step strategy recommended by NIH. First, perform a 50-g GLT (nonfasting), with plasma glucose measurement at 1 h, at 24–28 weeks of gestation in women not previously diagnosed with overt diabetes If the plasma glucose level measured 1 h after the load is ≥140 mg/dL, proceed to Step 2, the 100-g OGTT It’s worth noting here also that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a lower threshold of 135 in high-risk ethnic minorities with higher prevalence of GDM.

37
Two-Step Strategy (2) Step 2:
100-g OGTT is performed while patient is fasting. The diagnosis of GDM is made if 2 or more of the following plasma glucose levels are met or exceeded: Carpenter/Coustan or NDDG Fasting 95 mg/dL (5.3 mmol/L) 105 mg/dL (5.8 mmol/L) 1h 180 md/dL (10.0 mmol/L) 190 mg/dL (10.6 mmol/L) 2h 155 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L) 165 mg/dL (9.2 mmol/L) 3h 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) 145 mg/dL (8.0 mmol/L) If the non-fasted 1-hour glucose is 140 or above, then perform the 100-g OGTT. This one is fasting, and GDM is diagnosed if at least two of the following four criteria are met or exceeded. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Monogenic Diabetes Syndromes
All children diagnosed with diabetes in the first 6 months of life should have genetic testing for neonatal diabetes. A Children and adults, diagnosed in early adulthood, who have diabetes not characteristic of T1D or T2D that occurs in successive generations should have genetic testing for MODY. A In both instances, consultation with a center specializing in diabetes genetics is recommended. E The Association has added additional guidance, recommendations, and text on monogenic diabetes syndromes for In sum, all children diagnosed with diabetes in the first six months of life should have genetic testing for neonatal diabetes. Consider maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) in individuals with atypical diabetes characteristics occurring in successive family generations, suggestive of an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. In case of both neonatal diabetes and MODY, referral to a center specializing in diabetes genetics can improve our understanding of the significance of these mutations and how best to approach further evaluation, treatment, and genetic counseling.

39
Recommendations: Cystic Fibrosis–Related Diabetes (CFRD)
Annual screening for CFRD with OGTT should begin by age 10 years in all patients with cystic fibrosis not previously diagnosed with CFRD. B A1C is not recommended as a screening test for CFRD. B Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes is the most common comorbidity in people with cystic fibrosis, occurring in about 20% of adolescents and 40-50% of adults. Diabetes in this population, compared to individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, is associated with worse nutritional status, more severe inflammatory lung disease, and greater mortality. Recommendations for the care of patients with cystic-fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) are summarized on two slides. First, annual screening for CFRD with OGTT should begin by age 10 years in all patients with cystic fibrosis who do not have CFRD (B); A1C as a screening test is not recommended (B) [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

3. Comprehensive Medical Evaluation and Assessment of Comorbidities
This new section, including components of the 2016 section “Foundations of Care and Comprehensive Medical Evaluation,” highlights the importance of assessing comorbidities in the context of a patient-centered comprehensive medical evaluation. [SLIDE] 41
42
Patient-Centered Collaborative Care
A patient-centered communication style that uses active listening, elicits patient preferences, and assesses literacy, numeracy, and potential barriers to care should be used to optimize patient health outcomes and health-related quality of life. B This section starts by highlighting the importance of patient-centered collaborative care as well as provider communications in the context of the comprehensive medical evaluation. Provider communications with patients and their families should acknowledge that multiple factors impact glycemic management, but also emphasize that collaboratively developed treatment plans and a healthy lifestyle can significantly improve disease outcomes and well-being. The goal of provider-patient communication is to establish a collaborative relationship and to assess and address self-management barriers without blaming patients for “noncompliance” or “nonadherence” when the outcomes of self-management are not optimal.

Components of the Comprehensive Diabetes Evaluation
Medical history: Age and characteristics of onset of diabetes Eating patterns, nutritional status, weight history, sleep behaviors, physical activity habits, nutrition education Presence of common comorbidities and dental disease Screen for psychosocial problems and other barriers to self-management History of tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and substance use A focus on the components of comprehensive diabetes evaluation will help ensure optimal management of the patient with diabetes. These are outlined on the next several slides. First, medical history, including age and characteristics of onset of diabetes; eating patterns, nutritional status, weight history, sleep behaviors—which is a new addition for 2017 based on research suggesting a link between sleep and glucose control--physical activity habits, nutrition education and behavioral support history and needs; presence of common comorbidities. Screening for psychosocial problems, including diabetes distress, depression, anxiety, and disordered eating, with validated and appropriate measures is recommended, as well as an assessment of other barriers to successful self care, including limited financial, logistical, or support resources. The use of tobacco, alcohol, and narcotics should also be assessed. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Immunizations
Provide routine vaccinations for children and adults with diabetes per age-specific CDC recommendations. C CDC.gov/vaccines Administer hepatitis B vaccine to unvaccinated adults with diabetes aged years. C Consider administering hepatitis B vaccine to unvaccinated adults with diabetes ≥ 60 years old. C As far as immunizations, the Association recommends that, as for the general population, all children and adults with diabetes should receive routine vaccinations according to age-specific CDC recommendations, which you can download at CDC/vaccines. These recommendations include both flu and pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines. [CLICK] And finally, people with diabetes have higher rates of hepatitis B than the general population, perhaps due to contact with infected blood or through improper equipment use. Thus, due to the higher likelihood of transmission, hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for adults with diabetes. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Patients with HIV should be screened for diabetes and prediabetes with a fasting glucose level every 6–12 months before starting antiretroviral therapy and 3 months after starting or changing antiretroviral therapy. E If initial screening results are normal, checking fasting glucose every year is advised. E If prediabetes is detected, continue to measure fasting glucose levels every 3–6 months to monitor for progression to diabetes. E Also included in the section are recommendations for patients with HIV, who are at higher risk for developing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes due to side effects of some antiretroviral medications. Specifically, the Association recommends that patients with HIV be screened for diabetes and prediabetes with a fasting glucose level before starting antiretroviral therapy, and again 3 months after starting or changing it. If initial screening results are normal, checking fasting glucose each year is advised. If prediabetes is detected, continue to measure levels every 3-6 months to monitor for progression to diabetes. And all of that is an “E” evidence rating, based on expert opinion. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Comprehensive Medical Evaluation and Assessment of Comorbidities. Diabetes Care 2017; 40 (Suppl. 1): S25-S32 53
54
Anxiety Disorders Consider screening for anxiety in people exhibiting anxiety or worries regarding diabetes complications, insulin injections or infusion, taking medications, and/or hypoglycemia that interfere with self-management behaviors. Refer for treatment if anxiety is present. B Persons with hypoglycemic unawareness, which can co-occur with fear of hypoglycemia, should be treated using blood glucose awareness training (or other evidence-based similar intervention) to help re-establish awareness of hypoglycemia and reduce fear of hypoglycemia. A In 2017, the Standards added a series of recommendations related to comorbid psychosocial and emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, disordered eating behavior, and serious mental illness. Here we start with new recommendations related to anxiety. Consider screening for anxiety in people exhibiting anxiety or worries regarding diabetes complications, insulin injections or infusion, taking medications, and/or hypoglycemia that interfere with self-management behaviors. Refer for treatment if anxiety is present. Screening may also be considered for those who express fear, dread, or irrational thoughts and/or show anxiety symptoms such as avoidance behaviors, excessive repetitive behaviors, or social withdrawal. Fear of hypoglycemia is related to anxiety. Persons with hypoglycemic unawareness, which can co-occur with fear of hypoglycemia, should be treated using blood glucose awareness training (or other evidence-based similar intervention) to help re-establish awareness of hypoglycemia and reduce fear of hypoglycemia [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

55
Depression Consider annual screening with age-appropriate depression screening measures. B Beginning at dx of complications or when there are significant changes in medical status, consider assessment for depression. B Referrals for treatment of depression should be made to mental health providers with experience using evidence-based treatment approaches. A Moving on to depression, now, which affects one in four patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Providers should consider annual screening for people with diabetes, as well as screening at diagnosis of complications or other significant changes in medical status. Patients who screen positive should be referred to a mental health provider trained in evidence-based treatment approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Comprehensive Medical Evaluation and Assessment of Comorbidities. Diabetes Care 2017; 40 (Suppl. 1): S25-S32 55
56
Disordered Eating Behavior
Consider reevaluating the treatment regimen in people with diabetes who present with symptoms of disordered eating. B Consider screening for disordered eating using validated screening measures when hyperglycemia and weight loss are unexplained based on self-reported behaviors. B The prevalence of eating disorders in people with diabetes is unknown, but in type 1 diabetes, insulin omission in order to lose weight is the most commonly reported disordered eating behavior, while in type 2, binge-eating is most commonly reported. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Comprehensive Medical Evaluation and Assessment of Comorbidities. Diabetes Care 2017; 40 (Suppl. 1): S25-S32 56
57
Serious Mental Illness
Annually screen people who are prescribed atypical antipsychotic medications for prediabetes or diabetes. B If a second-generation antipsychotic medication is prescribed, changes in weight, glycemic control, and cholesterol levels should be carefully monitored. C Incorporate monitoring of diabetes self-care activities into treatment goals in people with diabetes and serious mental illness. B And finally, people with serious mental illness, particularly schizophrenia, are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as are those taking atypical antipsychotics.

Recommendations: Diabetes Self-Management Education & Support
All people with diabetes should participate in DSME and DSMS both at diagnosis and as needed thereafter. B Effective self-management, improved clinical outcomes, health status, and quality-of-life are key outcomes of DSME and DSMS and should be measured and monitored as part of care. C DSME/S should be patient-centered, respectful, and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values that should guide clinical decisions. A Here are the recommendations on diabetes self management education and support. In accordance with the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support, the Association recommends that all people with diabetes should participate in DSME, to facilitate knowledge, skill, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care, and DSMS, to assist with implementing and sustaining skills and behaviors needed for on-going self-management, both at diagnosis and as needed thereafter. [CLICK] Effective self-management, improved clinical outcomes, health status, and quality-of-life are key outcomes of DSME and DSMS and should be measured and monitored as part of care.

Recommendations: Diabetes Self-Management Education & Support (2)
DSME/S programs have the necessary elements in their curricula to delay or prevent the development of type 2 diabetes; DSME/S programs should be able to tailor their content when prevention of diabetes is the desired goal. B Because DSME and DSMS can improve outcomes and reduce costs B, DSME and DSMS should be adequately reimbursed by third-party payers. E DSME/S programs may have the necessary elements in their curricula that are needed to prevent the onset of diabetes. DSME/S programs should therefore tailor their content specifically when prevention of diabetes is the desired goal. [CLICK] And finally, because DSME and DSMS can result in cost-savings and improved outcomes, both should be adequately reimbursed by third-party payers.

DSME / DSMS Delivery Four critical time points for DSME/S delivery:
At diagnosis Annually for assessment of education, nutrition, and emotional needs When new complicating factors arise that influence self-management; and When transitions in care occur The DSME/S algorithm defines four critical time points for DSME/S delivery. These include 1) at diagnosis; 2) annually for assessment of education, nutrition, and emotional needs; 3) when new complicating factors arise that influence self-management; and --complicating factors include: (health conditions, physical limitations, emotional factors, or basic living needs) 4) when transitions in care occur [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Goals of Nutrition Therapy
Promote & support healthful eating patterns, emphasizing a variety of nutrient-dense foods in appropriate portion sizes, to improve health and to: Achieve and maintain body weight goals Attain individualized glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid goals Delay or prevent complications of diabetes Address nutrition needs based on personal & cultural preferences, health literacy & numeracy, access to healthful foods, willingness and ability to make behavioral changes & barriers to change. Figuring out what to eat can be the most challenging part of daily self-management for people with diabetes. The Association has long held that there is no “one size fits all” approach to nutrition therapy, and lays out four goals for nutrition therapy for adults with diabetes: 1. We want to promote and support healthful eating patterns, emphasizing a variety of nutrient-dense foods in appropriate portion sizes, in order to improve overall health and specifically to: Achieve and maintain body weight goals Attain individualized glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid goals Delay or prevent complications of diabetes [CLICK] To address individual nutrition needs based on personal and cultural preferences, health literacy and numeracy, access to healthful foods, willingness and ability to make behavioral changes, and barriers to change.

Recommendations: Nutrition
Effectiveness of Nutrition Therapy: An individualized MNT program is recommended for all people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A For people with T1D or T2D on a flexible insulin program, education on carb counting and, in some cases, fat and protein gram estimation can improve glycemic control. A For people whose daily insulin dosing is fixed, a consistent pattern of carb intake can result in improved glycemic control and a reduced risk of hypoglycemia. B Moving on to recommendations in the area of nutrition therapy, first, an individualized nutrition therapy program, preferably provided by a registered dietitian, is recommended for all patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. For people with type 1 diabetes or type 2 who are prescribed a flexible insulin therapy program, education on carb counting and, in some cases, fat and protein gram estimationis recommended as it can improve glycemic control. For people whose daily insulin dosing is fixed, a consistent pattern of carb intake can result in improved glycemic control and a reduced risk of hypoglycemia.

Effectiveness of Nutrition Therapy (2): Emphasizing healthy food choices and portion control may be more helpful for those with type 2 diabetes who are not taking insulin, who have limited health literacy or numeracy, and who are elderly and prone to hypoglycemia. B Because diabetes nutrition therapy can result in cost savings B and improved outcomes (e.g., A1C reduction) A, MNT should be adequately reimbursed by insurance and other payers. E And the final points under the effectiveness of nutrition therapy: For your patients with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin who have limited health literacy or are elderly and prone to hypoglycemia, it may make more sense to simply emphasize healthy food choices and portion control. And finally, because diabetes nutrition therapy can result in cost savings and improved outcomes (e.g., A1C reduction), MNT should be adequately reimbursed by insurance and other payers.

Eating patterns & macronutrient distribution: Macronutrient distribution should be individualized while keeping total calorie and metabolic goals in mind. E Carbohydrate intake from whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and dairy products, with an emphasis on foods higher in fiber and lower in glycemic load, should be advised over other sources, especially those containing sugars. B Moving on to eating patterns and macronutrient distribution, because there is no single ideal dietary distribution of calories among carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for people with diabetes, macronutrient distribution should be individualized while keeping total calorie and metabolic goals in mind. And encourage patients to consume more whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and dairy products, with an emphasis on foods higher in fiber and lower in glycemic load, over carbs from other sources, especially those containing sugars.

Dietary Fat: An eating plan emphasizing elements of a Mediterranean-style diet rich in monounsaturated fats may improve glucose metabolism and lower CVD risk and can be an effective alternative to a low-fat, high-carb diet. B Eating foods containing long-chain ω-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish, nuts, and seeds, is recommended to prevent or treat CVD B; however, evidence does not support a beneficial role for ω-3 dietary supplements. A The data on ideal total dietary fat intake is inconclusive but an eating plan emphasizing elements of a Mediterranean-style diet rich in monounsaturated fats may improve glucose metabolism and lower CVD risk and can be an effective alternative to a diet low in total fat but relatively high in carbohydrates. Eating foods containing long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), such as fatty fish, and omega-3 linolenic acid (ALA) is recommended to prevent or treat CVD; however, evidence does not support a beneficial role for omega-3 supplements.

Micronutrients and herbal supplements: There is no clear evidence that dietary supplementation with vitamins, minerals, herbs, or spices can improve diabetes, and there may be safety concerns regarding the long-term use of antioxidant supplements such as vitamins E and C and carotene. C As far as micronutrients and herbal supplements, the Association maintains the position that there is no clear evidence of benefit to glycemic control, and there may be safety concerns regarding long-term use of antioxidant supplements such as vitamins C and E, and carotene. At the very least, encourage your patients to fully list or disclose on their medical history forms any herbal supplements or micronutrients they may be taking. Patients tend to overlook these supplements since they’re not prescribed; they may not think they “count.” [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Alcohol: Adults with diabetes should drink alcohol only in moderation (no more than one drink per day for adult women and no more than two drinks per day for adult men). C Alcohol consumption may place people with diabetes at an increased risk for hypoglycemia, especially if taking insulin or insulin secretagogues. Education and awareness regarding the recognition and management of delayed hypoglycemia are warranted. B Adults with diabetes who drink alcohol should do so in moderation, which is defined as no more than one drink per day for adult women and no more than two drinks per day for adult men. And because alcohol consumption may place people with diabetes at an increased risk for delayed hypoglycemia, it’s important that they are well able to recognize and manage delayed hypoglycemia. For your patients who are less aware of hypoglycemia, it may make sense to recommend that they avoid alcohol entirely. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Smoking Cessation
Advise all patients not to use cigarettes, other tobacco products A or e-cigarettes E. Include smoking cessation counseling and other forms of treatment as a routine component of diabetes care. B The Association offers two key recommendations in the areas of tobacco and e-cigarettes. First, do advise all patients not to use cigarettes, other tobacco products, or e-cigarettes. This last one – e-cigarettes– is hard, but there just are no rigorous studies demonstrating that e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative to smoking or that e-cigarettes can facilitate smoking cessation. More extensive research of their short- and long-term effects is needed to determine their safety and their cardiopulmonary effects in comparison with smoking and standard approaches to smoking cessation so the Association recommends against their use. [CLICK] And secondly, do include smoking cessation counseling and other forms of treatment as a routine component of diabetes care.

Recommendations: Immunizations
Provide routine vaccinations for children and adults with diabetes per age-specific CDC recommendations. C CDC.gov/vaccines Administer hepatitis B vaccine to unvaccinated adults with diabetes aged years. C Consider administering hepatitis B vaccine to unvaccinated adults with diabetes ≥ 60 years old. C As far as immunizations, the Association recommends that, as for the general population, all children and adults with diabetes should receive routine vaccinations according to age-specific CDC recommendations, which you can download at CDC/vaccines. These recommendations include diabetes-specific flu and pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine schedules. [CLICK] And finally, people with diabetes have higher rates of hepatitis B than the general population, perhaps due to contact with infected blood or through improper equipment use. Thus, due to the higher likelihood of transmission, hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for adults with diabetes. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

A Psychosocial screening and follow-up include: Attitudes Expectations for medical mgmt. & outcomes Affect/mood Quality-of-life (QOL) Resources- financial, social & emotional Psychiatric history E Emotional well-being is an important part of diabetes care and self-management. Psychological and social problems can impair the individual’s or family’s ability to carry out diabetes care tasks and therefore compromise health status. The Association offers several recommendations for addressing psychosocial issues, comprised on the next two slides. First, psychosocial care should be provided to all people with diabetes, with the goals of optimizing health outcomes and quality of life. Psychosocial screening and follow-up may include, but are not limited to, attitudes about the illness, expectations for medical management and outcomes, affect/mood, general and diabetes-related quality-of-life, resources (financial, social, and emotional), and psychiatric history.

Diabetes Distress Diabetes distress
Very common and distinct from other psychological disorders Negative psychological reactions related to emotional burdens of managing a demanding chronic disease Recommendation: Routinely monitor people with diabetes for diabetes distress, particularly when treatment targets are not met and/or at the onset of diabetes complications. B And now on to diabetes distress, which is very common and, importantly, distinct from other psychological disorders. Diabetes distress is defined as significant negative psychological reactions related to emotional burdens and worries specific to an individual’s experience in having to manage a severe, complicated, and demanding chronic disease such as diabetes. The ADA recommends routinely monitoring people with diabetes for diabetes distress, particularly when treatment targets are not met and/or at the onset of diabetes complications. If diabetes distress is identified, the person should be referred for specific diabetes education to address areas of diabetes self-care that are most relevant to the patient.

Patients with prediabetes should be referred to an intensive diet and physical activity behavioral counseling program adhering to the tenets of the DPP targeting a loss of 7% of body weight, and should increase their moderate physical activity to at least 150 min/week. A First, patients with prediabetes should be referred to an intensive diet and physical activity behavioral counseling program that adheres to the tenets of the Diabetes Prevention Program. It should target a weight loss of 7% and should increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes/ week of moderate activity. Again, this equivalent to a brisk walk, but basically you just want their heart rate up to 50-70% of max.

Based on cost-effectiveness of diabetes prevention, such programs should be covered by third-party payers. B Metformin therapy for prevention of type 2 diabetes should be considered in those with prediabetes, especially for those with BMI >35 kg/m2, aged < 60 years, women with prior gestational diabetes (GDM), those with rising A1C despite lifestyle intervention. A Many studies have shown that diabetes prevention is cost effective, so the Association maintains that such programs should be covered by third party payers. Consider metformin in your patients with prediabetes, especially in those with BMIs over 35, who are younger than 60 years old, women with a history of gestational diabetes, and those with a rising A1C despite lifestyle intervention.

Assessment of Glycemic Control
Two primary techniques available for health providers and patients to assess effectiveness of management plan on glycemic control Patient self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) A1C CGM or interstitial glucose may have an important role assessing the effectiveness and safety of treatment in selected patients. In addition to an initial evaluation and management, diabetes care requires an assessment of glycemic control Two primary techniques available for health providers and patients to assess the effectiveness of the management plan on glycemic control are summarized on this slide Patient self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) A1C Continuous Glucose Monitoring or interstitial glucose may be a useful adjunct to SMBD in some patients. Recommendations for glucose monitoring, A1C testing, correlation of A1C with average glucose, glycemic goals in adults, intensive glycemic control and cardiovascular outcomes, and recommended glycemic goals for many nonpregnant adults with diabetes as well as glycemic goals in pregnant women are summarized in the following slides.

Recommendations: Glucose Monitoring
When prescribed as part of a broader educational context, SMBG results may be helpful to guide treatment decisions and/or patient self-management for patients using less frequent insulin injections B or noninsulin therapies. E When prescribing SMBG, ensure that patients receive ongoing instruction and regular evaluation of SMBG technique and SMBG results, and their ability to use SMBG data to adjust therapy.

Recommendations: Glucose Monitoring (2)
Most patients on multiple-dose insulin (MDI) or insulin pump therapy should do SMBG B Prior to meals and snacks At bedtime Prior to exercise When they suspect low blood glucose After treating low blood glucose until they are normoglycemic Prior to critical tasks such as driving Occasionally postprandially Recommendations for glucose monitoring are summarized on three slides Patients on multiple-dose insulin (MDI) or insulin pump therapy should do SMBG prior to meals and snacks, occasionally postprandially, at bedtime, prior to exercise, when they suspect low blood glucose, after treating low blood glucose until they are normoglycemic, and prior to critical tasks such as driving This may mean testing 6-10 times per day, though individual needs vary. But at least in studies of children with type 1 diabetes, increased daily frequency of SMBG was significantly associated with lower A1C. SMBG frequency and timing should be dictated by the patient’s specific needs and goals SMBG is especially important for patients treated with insulin to monitor for and prevent asymptomatic hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Glucose Monitoring (3)
When used properly, CGM in conjunction with intensive insulin regimens is a useful tool to lower A1C in selected adults (aged ≥ 25 years) with type 1 diabetes. A Although the evidence for A1C lowering is less strong in children, teens, and younger adults, CGM may be helpful in these groups. Success correlates with adherence to ongoing use of the device. B CGM may be a supplemental tool to SMBG in those with hypoglycemia unawareness and/or frequent hypoglycemic episodes.

Given variable adherence to CGM, assess individual readiness for continuing use of CGM prior to prescribing. E When prescribing CGM, robust diabetes education, training, and support are required for optimal CGM implementation and ongoing use. E People who have been successfully using CGM should have continued access after they turn 65 years of age. E And finally, due to variable adherence, optimal CGM use requires an assessment of individual readiness for the technology as well as initial and ongoing education and support.

Recommendations: A1C Testing
Perform the A1C test at least 2x annually in patients that meet treatment goals (and have stable glycemic control). E Perform the A1C test quarterly in patients whose therapy has changed or who are not meeting glycemic goals. E Use of point-of-care (POC) testing for A1C provides the opportunity for more timely treatment changes. E A1C reflects average glycemia over several months and has strong predictive value for diabetes complications. Thus, A1C testing should be performed routinely in all patients with diabetes—at initial assessment and as part of continuing care. Measurement about every 3 months determines whether patients’ glycemic targets have been reached and maintained, though the frequency of A1C testing should depend on the clinical situation, the treatment regimen, and the clinician’s judgment. For your patients meeting treatment goals and with stable control, check the A1C at least twice a year, and for your patients whose therapy has changed or who aren’t meeting glycemic goals, test quarterly. You may also have patients who are unstable or highly intensively managed, such as pregnant women with type 1, whom you may wish to test more frequently than every 3 months. Point of care A1C testing can help accommodate more timely decisions, for example on when to change therapy. The A1C test is subject to certain limitations: conditions that affect erythrocyte turnover (e.g., hemolysis, blood loss) and hemoglobin variants must be considered, particularly when the A1C result does not correlate with the patient’s clinical situation;2 in addition, A1C does not provide a measure of glycemic variability or hypoglycemia For patients prone to glycemic variability (especially type 1 diabetic patients, or type 2 diabetic patients with severe insulin deficiency), glycemic control is best judged by the combination of result of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) testing and A1C The A1C may also confirm the accuracy of a patient’s meter (or the patient’s reported SMBG results) and the adequacy of the SMBG testing schedule [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Glycemic Goals in Adults
A reasonable A1C goal for many nonpregnant adults is <7% (53 mmol/mol). A Consider more stringent goals (e.g. <6.5%) for select patients if achievable without significant hypos or other adverse effects. C Consider less stringent goals (e.g. <8%) for patients with a history of severe hypoglycemia, limited life expectancy, or other conditions that make <7% difficult to attain. B We’ll discuss glycemic goals in children and adolescents and in pregnant women in the sections specific to care of those populations. These slides are specific to nonpregnant adults. Hyperglycemia defines diabetes, and glycemic control is fundamental to diabetes management; recommendations for glycemic goals in adults1 are reviewed on three slides. The concerning mortality findings in the ACCORD trial, discussed which we’ll get to shortly, and the relatively intense efforts required to achieve near-euglycemia should also be considered when setting glycemic targets. Glycemic control achieved using A1C targets of <7% has been shown to reduce microvascular complications of diabetes and, in type 1 diabetes, mortality. If implemented soon after the diagnosis of diabetes this target is associated with long-term reduction in macrovascular disease. Providers might suggest more stringent A1C goals (such as <6.5%) for selected individual patients if this can be achieved without significant hypoglycemia or other adverse effects of treatment. Appropriate patients might include those with short duration of diabetes, type 2 diabetes treated with lifestyle or metformin only, long life expectancy, or no significant cardiovascular disease. Less stringent A1C goals (such as <8%) may be appropriate for patients with a history of severe hypoglycemia, limited life expectancy, advanced microvascular or macrovascular complications, extensive comorbid conditions, or long-standing diabetes in whom the general goal is difficult to attain despite diabetes self-management education, appropriate glucose monitoring, and effective doses of multiple glucose-lowering agents including insulin.

A1C and CVD Outcomes DCCT: Trend toward lower risk of CVD events with intensive control (T1D) EDIC: 57% reduction in risk of nonfatal MI, stroke, or CVD death (T1D) UKPDS: nonsignificant reduction in CVD events (T2D). ACCORD, ADVANCE, VADT suggested no significant reduction in CVD outcomes with intensive glycemic control. (T2D) Care.DiabetesJournals.org There is evidence for a cardiovascular benefit of intensive glycemic control after long-term follow-up of study cohorts treated early in the course of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes For example in the Diabetes Control & Complications Trial (DCCT) there was a trend toward lower risk of CVD events with intensive control. In the 9-year post-DCCT follow-up of the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) cohort, participants previously randomized to the intensive arm had a significant 57% reduction in the risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or CVD death compared with those previously in the standard arm. The benefit of intensive glycemic control in this type 1 diabetic cohort has been shown to persist for several decades and to be associated with a modest reduction in all-cause mortality. Type 2 Diabetes During the UKPDS, there was a 16% reduction in CVD events (combined fatal or nonfatal MI and sudden death) in the intensive glycemic control arm that did not reach statistical significance, and there was no suggestion of benefit on other CVD outcomes (e.g., stroke). The ACCORD, ADVANCE, and VADT suggested no significant reduction in CVD outcomes with intensive glycemic control in participants followed for 3.5−5.6 years who had more advanced type 2 diabetes than UKPDS participants. Details of these studies are reviewed extensively in the Association’s position statement on intensive glycemic control and the prevention of cardiovascular events, which you can download for free from care.diabetesjournals.org.

Approach to the Management of Hyperglycemia
7% more stringent less stringent Patient/Disease Features Risk of hypoglycemia/drug adverse effects low high Disease Duration newly diagnosed long-standing Life expectancy long short Relevant comorbidities absent Few/mild severe Established vascular complications absent Few/mild severe Patient attitude & expected treatment efforts highly motivated, adherent, excellent self-care capabilities less motivated, nonadherent, poor self-care capabilities Resources & support system This slide, “Approach to Management of Hyperglycemia,” depicts the elements of decision making used to determine appropriate efforts to achieve glycemic targets1 (Adapted with permission from Inzucchi et al.) You may have seen this before, but in case not we’ll walk through it briefly. Going down the left side you see a series of patient or disease characteristics with a corresponding A1C impact scale on the right. The small end of the triangle aligns with a more stringent A1C and the fatter end aligns with less stringent A1C. So taking the first one, the red triangle, risks associated with hypoglycemia and other drug adverse effects…. Clearly the risks are lower with a more stringent A1C and higher with a less stringent A1C. These are grouped into two categories, the [CLICK] top set consists of factors that are usually not modifiable and [CLICK] the bottom set may be potentially modifiable. Where possible, such decisions should be made in conjunction with the patient, reflecting his or her preferences, needs, and values This “scale” is not designed to be applied rigidly but to be used as a broad construct to help guide clinical decisions Those with long duration of diabetes, known history of severe hypoglycemia, advanced atherosclerosis, and advanced age/frailty may benefit from less aggressive targets Providers should be vigilant in preventing severe hypoglycemia in patients with advanced disease and should not aggressively attempt to achieve near-normal A1C levels in patients in whom such targets cannot be safely and reasonably achieved Severe or frequent hypoglycemia is an absolute indication for the modification of treatment regimens, including setting higher glycemic goals [SLIDE] readily available limited American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Glycemic Recommendations for Nonpregnant Adults with Diabetes
More or less stringent glycemic goals may be appropriate for individual patients. Postprandial glucose may be targeted if A1C goals are not met despite reaching preprandial glucose goals. It should be noted that all glycemic goals should be individualized to each patient, and the slide on approach to hyperglycemia, which is figure 6.1 in the Association’s Standards of Care, can help with the customization. The issue of preprandial versus postprandial is complex. Elevated postprandial glucose levels have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk independent of fasting plasma glucose and it’s clear that postprandial and preprandial glucose both contribute to A1C. But outcome studies have shown that A1C is the primary predictor of complications, and landmark glycemic control trials such as the DCCT and UKPDS relied overwhelmingly on preprandial SMBG. So generally speaking it’s wise to rely on preprandial glucose measurements but do consider recommending postprandial testing for individuals who have premeal glucose values within target but have A1C values above target.

Classification of Hypoglycemia
Here is the ADA’s new classification scheme for hypoglycemia, based on recommendations from the International Hypoglycaemia Study Group. Of note, this classification scheme considers a blood glucose less than 54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L) detected by SMBG, CGM (for at least 20 min), or laboratory measurement of plasma glucose as sufficiently low to indicate serious, clinically significant hypoglycemia that should be included in reports of clinical trials of glucose-lowering drugs for the treatment of diabetes. However, a glucose alert value of less than or equal to 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) can be important for therapeutic dose adjustment of glucose-lowering drugs in clinical care and is often related to symptomatic hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as severe cognitive impairment requiring assistance from another person for recovery. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Hypoglycemia
Individuals at risk for hypoglycemia should be asked about symptomatic and asymptomatic hypoglycemia at each encounter. C Glucose (15–20 g) preferred treatment for conscious individual with blood glucose < 70 mg/dL. E Glucagon should be prescribed for those at increased risk of clinically significant hypoglycemia, defined as blood glucose < 54 mg/dL, so it is available if needed. E Hypoglycemia unawareness or episodes of severe hypoglycemia should trigger treatment re-evaluation. E Moving on to hypoglycemia recommendations, hypoglycemia is the leading limiting factor in the glycemic management of patients with type 1 and insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. Individuals at risk for hypoglycemia should be asked about symptomatic and asymptomatic hypoglycemia at each encounter [CLICK] Glucose (15–20 g) is the preferred treatment for the conscious individual with hypoglycemia, although any form of carbohydrate that contains glucose may be used; after 15 min of treatment, if SMBG shows continued hypoglycemia, the treatment should be repeated. Once SMBG returns to normal, the individual should consume a meal or snack to prevent recurrence of hypoglycemia. [CLICK] Glucagon should be prescribed for all individuals at significant risk of severe hypoglycemia, and caregivers or family members of these individuals should be instructed in its administration; glucagon administration is not limited to health care professionals. A glucagon kit does require a prescription; some patients may want more than one kit, for example, one to keep at school or work and another for home. Care should be taken to ensure that glucagon kits are not expired; its worth reminding patients to check expiration dates upon receipt and perhaps jotting the date down on a calendar. [CLICK] Hypoglycemia unawareness or one or more episodes of severe hypoglycemia should trigger re-evaluation of the treatment regimen [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Hypoglycemia (2)
Insulin-treated patients with hypoglycemia unawareness or an episode of severe hypoglycemia should be advised to raise glycemic targets to strictly avoid further hypoglycemia for at least several weeks, to partially reverse hypoglycemia unawareness, and to reduce risk of future episodes. A Ongoing assessment of cognitive function is suggested with increased vigilance for hypoglycemia by the clinician, patient, and caregivers if low cognition and/or declining cognition is found. B Insulin-treated patients with hypoglycemia unawareness or an episode of severe hypoglycemia should be advised to raise their glycemic targets to strictly avoid further hypoglycemia for at least several weeks, to partially reverse hypoglycemia unawareness and reduce risk of future episodes [CLICK] And finally, do conduct ongoing assessments of cognitive function, and if low or declining cognition is found, exercise increased vigilance for hypoglycemia. A large cohort study suggested that among older adults with type 2 diabetes, a history of severe hypoglycemia was associated with greater risk of dementia2 Conversely, in a substudy of the ACCORD trial, cognitive impairment at baseline or decline in cognitive function during the trial was significantly associated with subsequent episodes of severe hypoglycemia3 Mild hypoglycemia may be inconvenient or frightening to patients with diabetes Severe hypoglycemia can cause acute harm to the person with diabetes or others, especially if it causes falls, motor vehicle accidents, or other injury [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Diet, physical activity & behavioral therapy
Diets should be individualized, as those that provide the same caloric restriction but differ in protein, carbohydrate, and fat content are equally effective in achieving weight loss. A Patients who achieve short-term weight loss goals should be prescribed long-term maintenance programs. A Third, diets that provide the same caloric restriction but differ in protein, carbohydrate, and fat content are equally effective in achieving weight loss. [CLICK] Overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes who have lost weight during the six-month intensive behavioral lifestyle intervention should be enrolled in long-term (≥1 year), comprehensive, weight loss maintenance programs that provide at least monthly contact with a trained interventionist and focus on ongoing monitoring of body weight (weekly or more frequently), continued consumption of a reduced-calorie diet, and participation in high levels of physical activity (200 to 300 minutes per week). Some commercial and proprietary weight-loss programs have shown promising weight loss results (20). [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Diet, physical activity & behavioral therapy
Short-term (3-month) interventions that employ very low calorie diets (<800 kcal/day) and total meal replacements may be prescribed for select patients by trained practitioners with close medical monitoring. To maintain weight loss, such programs must incorporate long-term, comprehensive, weight maintenance counseling. B And finally, in carefully selected patients, short-term interventions that employ very low calorie diets (defined as 800 calories/day or less) or total meal replacements can be prescribed, when provided by trained practitioners in medical care settings with close medical monitoring. These should be for a short-term (3 months) and may help achieve greater short-term weight loss (10-15%) than intensive behavioral lifestyle interventions that typically achieve 5% weight loss.

Metabolic Surgery Evidence supports gastrointestinal operations as effective treatments for overweight T2DM patients. Randomized controlled trials with postoperative follow-up ranging from 1 to 5 years have documented sustained diabetes remission in 30–63% of patients, though erosion of remission occurs in 35-50% or more. With or without diabetes relapse, the majority of patients who undergo surgery maintain substantial improvement of glycemic control for at least 5 to 15 years To reflect the results of an international workgroup report endorsed by the ADA and many other organizations, recommendations regarding metabolic surgery have been substantially changed, including those related to BMI thresholds for surgical candidacy, mental health assessment, and appropriate surgical venues. Either gastric banding or procedures that involve resecting, bypassing, or transposing sections of the stomach and small intestine, can be effective weight-loss treatments for severe obesity when performed as part of a comprehensive weight-management program with lifelong lifestyle support and medical monitoring.

Recommendations: Metabolic Surgery
Metabolic surgery should be recommended to treat T2DM for all appropriate surgical candidates with BMIs > 40 (37.5*) and those with BMIs ( *) when hyperglycemia is inadequately controlled despite lifestyle & optimal medical therapy. A Metabolic surgery should be considered for the treatment of T2DM in adults with BMIs ( *) when hyperglycemia is inadequately controlled despite optimal medical control by either oral or injectable medications (including insulin). B Metabolic surgery should be performed in high-volume centers with multidisciplinary teams that understand and are experienced in the management of diabetes and gastrointestinal surgery. C And here are the metabolic surgery recommendations, which are based on both the BMI and glycemic management of the patient, as well as other factors related to surgical candidacy. Metabolic surgery should be recommended to treat type 2 diabetes for all appropriate surgical candidates with BMIs > 40 (Again, the asterisks denotes cutpoints for Asian Americans, which is 37.5). This recommendation also applies to those with BMIs ( in Asian Americans) when hyperglycemia is inadequately controlled despite lifestyle & optimal medical therapy. Metabolic surgery should be considered, note the change in the strength of the recommendation, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults with BMIs ( in Asian Americans) when hyperglycemia is inadequately controlled despite optimal medical control by either oral or injectable medications (including insulin).

Recommendations: Metabolic Surgery (2)
Long-term lifestyle support and routine monitoring of micronutrient/nutritional status must be provided after surgery. C People presenting for metabolic surgery should receive a comprehensive mental health assessment. B Surgery should be postponed in patients with histories of alcohol or substance abuse, significant depression, suicidal ideation, or other mental health conditions until these conditions have been fully addressed. E People who undergo metabolic surgery should be evaluated to assess the need for ongoing mental health services to help them adjust to medical and psychosocial changes after surgery. C Here are three more recommendations for metabolic surgery. The first is related to the importance of long-term care after a surgical procedure. The next two highlight the importance of mental health assessments, both before surgery to help determine surgical candidacy and after surgery to assess the need for ongoing psychosocial care.

Adverse Effects Costly Some associated risks Outcomes vary
Patients undergoing metabolic surgery may be at higher risk for depression, substance abuse, and other psychosocial issues There are several disadvantages to keep in mind when considering bariatric surgery for your patients with type 2 diabetes. First, it’s costly. And there still are associated risks. Mortality rates are typically %, similar to cholecystectomy or hysterectomy. Finally, some recent studies suggest that patients who undergo bariatric surgery may be at higher risk for substance use including drug and alcohol use and cigarette smoking. Understanding the long-term benefits and risks of bariatric surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes, especially those who are not severely obese, will require well-designed clinical trials, with optimal medical therapy as the comparator. Unfortunately, such studies may not be feasible. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Obesity management for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Recommendations: Pharmacologic Therapy For Type 1 Diabetes
Most people with T1DM should be treated with multiple daily injections of prandial insulin and basal insulin or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). A Individuals who have been successfully using CSII should have continued access after they turn 65 years old. E Starting off with type 1 diabetes, there are plenty of other resources out there on initiating and managing insulin therapy, so we won’t go into that here. Most of your patients with type 1 diabetes should be treated with multiple dose injections or insulin pump therapy. There are minimal differences between the two as far as hypoglycemia is concerned. Whichever one a patient chooses, intensive management and active patient or family participation should be strongly encouraged.

A few words on transplantation. Pancreatic or islet cell transplantation can normalize glucose levels but require lifelong immunosuppression to prevent graft rejection and recurrence of islet destruction. Therefore, pancreas transplantation should be reserved for type 1 patients undergoing simultaneous renal transplantation, following renal transplantation, or for those with recurrent ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia despite aggressive glycemic management. Islet cell transplantation remains investigational. Auto-islet transplantation may be considered for patients requiring total pancreatectomy who meet eligibility criteria. {SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations for Statin Treatment in People with Diabetes
Age Risk Factors Statin Intensity* <40 years None ASCVD risk factor(s) Moderate or high ASCVD High 40–75 years Moderate ASCVD risk factors ACS & LDL ≥50 or in patients with history of ASCVD who can’t tolerate high dose statin Moderate + ezetimibe >75 years Here is a summary of recommendations for statin treatment in people with diabetes. All of these recommendations are in addition to lifestyle therapy, as indicated by the asterisk by Recommended Statin Intensity. ASCVD risk factors include LDL cholesterol ≥100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L), high blood pressure, smoking, chronic kidney disease, albuminuria, and family history of premature ASCVD. For your patients less than 40 years old without ASCVD risk factors, no statins are recommended. If they do have risk factors, moderate or high dose statin therapy is recommended. For patients with overt ASCVD, a high dose is recommended. For your patients aged with no risk factors, moderate dose statin therapy is recommended in addition to lifestyle. For patients in this age group with ASCVD risk factors, a high dose is recommended, and for your patients with acute coronary syndrome and LDL greater than or equal to 50, a moderate dose plus ezetimibe is recommended (along with lifestyle intervention). This treatment is also recommended for patients with a history of ASCVD who can’t tolerate high dose statin. And finally, for your patients over 75 years old with no risk factors, a moderate dose is recommended. With ASCVD risk factors, a moderate or high dose, and with overt ASCVD, a high dose along with that lifestyle therapy. And again for your patients in this age group with acute coronary syndrome and LDL greater than or equal to 50 or who can’t tolerate high dose statin therapy, moderate dose plus ezetimibe is recommended.

In clinical practice, providers may need to adjust intensity of statin therapy based on individual patient response to medication (e.g., side effects, tolerability, LDL cholesterol levels). E Ezetimibe + moderate intensity statin therapy provides add’l CV benefit over moderate intensity statin therapy alone; consider for patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome w/ LDL ≥ 50mg/dL A or in patients with a history of ASCVD who can’t tolerate high-intensity statin therapy. E In clinical practice, providers may need to adjust intensity of statin therapy based on individual patient response to medication (e.g., side effects, tolerability, LDL cholesterol levels). The addition of ezetimibe to moderate intensity statin therapy has been shown to provide additional cardiovascular benefit compared to moderate intensity statin therapy alone, and may be considered for patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome with an LDL cholesterol ≥ 50mg/dL or in those patients who cannot tolerate high-intensity statin therapy. {SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Recommendations: Antiplatelet Agents
Consider aspirin therapy (75–162 mg/day) C As a primary prevention strategy in those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes at increased cardiovascular risk Includes most men or women with diabetes age ≥50 years who have at least one additional major risk factor, including: Family history of premature ASCVD Hypertension Smoking Dyslipidemia Albuminuria Aspirin has been shown to be effective in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in high-risk patients with previous MI or stroke (secondary prevention). Its net benefit in primary prevention among patients with no previous cardiovascular events is more controversial, both for patients with and without diabetes. Multiple recent well-conducted studies and meta-analyses reported a risk of heart disease and stroke that is equivalent if not higher in women compared to men with diabetes, including among non-elderly adults. Thus, the recommendations for using aspirin as primary prevention are now revised to include both men and women aged 50 years or older with diabetes and one or more major risk factors, to reflect these more recent findings. Recommendations for the use of antiplatelet agents are summarized in three slides. Consider aspirin therapy as a primary prevention strategy in those with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who are at increased cardiovascular risk. This includes most men or women with diabetes aged 50 years and up who have at least one additional major risk factor (such as family history of premature ASCVD, hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, or albuminuria) and are not at increased risk of bleeding.

Recommendations: Antiplatelet Agents (2)
Aspirin is not recommended for ASCVD prevention for adults with DM at low ASCVD risk, since potential adverse effects from bleeding likely offset potential benefits. C Low risk: such as in men or women with diabetes aged <50 years with no major additional ASCVD risk factors) In patients with diabetes <50 years of age with multiple other risk factors (e.g., 10-year risk 5–10%), clinical judgment is required. E Aspirin is not recommended for those at low risk of ASCVD (such as men and women with diabetes under age 50 years with no other major ASCVD risk factors; 10-year ASCVD risk under 5%) as the low benefit is likely to be outweighed by the risks of significant bleeding. Clinical judgment should be used for those at intermediate risk such as younger patients with one or more risk factors or older patients with no risk factors until further research is available. Aspirin use in patients under the age of 21 years is contraindicated due to the associated risk of Reye syndrome. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Use aspirin therapy (75–162 mg/day) as secondary prevention in those with diabetes and history of ASCVD. A For patients w/ ASCVD & aspirin allergy, clopidogrel (75 mg/day) should be used. B Dual antiplatelet therapy is reasonable for up to a year after an acute coronary syndrome. B Average daily dosages used in most clinical trials involving patients with diabetes ranged from 50 to 650 mg but were mostly in the range of 100 to 325 mg/day.

Treatment In patients with known ASCVD, use aspirin and statin therapy (if not contraindicated) A and consider ACE inhibitor therapy C to reduce risk of cardiovascular events. In patients with a prior MI, β-blockers should be continued for at least 2 years after the event. B Treatment recommendations are summarized on two slides. As a baseline for all your patients, intensive lifestyle intervention focusing on weight loss through decreased caloric intake and increased physical activity such as in the Look AHEAD trial may be considered for improving glucose control, fitness, and some ASCVD risk factors. Patients at increased ASCVD risk should receive aspirin and a statin, and ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy if the patient has hypertension, unless there are contraindications to a particular drug class. While clear benefit exists for ACE inhibitor and ARB therapy in patients with nephropathy or hypertension, the benefits in patients with ASCVD in the absence of these conditions are less clear, especially when LDL cholesterol is concomitantly controlled.

To reduce the risk or slow the progression of retinopathy Optimize glycemic control A Optimize blood pressure control A Diabetic retinopathy is a highly specific vascular complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, with prevalence strongly related to duration of diabetes. It’s the most frequent cause of new cases of blindness among adults aged 20–74 years Glaucoma, cataracts, and other disorders of the eye occur earlier and more frequently in people with diabetes In addition to duration of diabetes, other factors that increase the risk of, or are associated with, retinopathy include chronic hyperglycemia2, the presence of nephropathy3, and hypertension4 The first line of defense against diabetic retinopathy, to reduce the risk or slow its progression, is to optimize glycemic control and blood pressure.

Older Adults 26% of patients aged >65 have diabetes.
Older adults have higher rates of premature death, functional disability & coexisting illnesses. At greater risk for polypharmacy, cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence, injurious falls & persistent pain. Screening for complications should be individualized and periodically revisited. At higher risk for depression Older Adults Diabetes is an important health condition for the aging population; approximately 26% of patients over the age of 65 years have diabetes (cdc.gov/diabetes), and this number is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. Older individuals with diabetes have higher rates of premature death, functional disability, and coexisting illnesses, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and stroke, than those without diabetes. Older adults with diabetes are also at a greater risk than other older adults for several common geriatric syndromes, such as polypharmacy, cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence, injurious falls, and persistent pain. Screening for diabetes complications in older adults also should be individualized and periodically revisited, since the results of screening tests may impact therapeutic approaches and targets. Older adults are at an increased risk for depression and should therefore be screened and treated accordingly. Diabetes management may require assessment of medical, functional, mental, and social domains. This may provide a framework to determine targets and therapeutic approaches. Particular attention should be paid to complications that can develop over short periods of time and/or that would significantly impair functional status, such as visual and lower-extremity complications. Please refer to the American Diabetes Association consensus report “Diabetes in Older Adults” for more information. [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes ¾ of all cases of T1DM are dx’d in patients <18 yrs. Providers must consider many unique aspects to care & mgmt. of children & adolescents with T1DM. Attention to family dynamics, developmental stages, physiological differences is essential. Recommendations less likely to be based on clinical trial evidence. Three-quarters of all cases of type 1 diabetes are diagnosed in individuals <18 years of age. The provider must consider the unique aspects of care and management of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, such as changes in insulin sensitivity related to physical growth and sexual maturation, ability to provide self-care, supervision in the child care and school environment, and neurological vulnerability to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in young children as well as possible adverse neurocognitive effects of diabetic ketoacidosis Attention to family dynamics, developmental stages, and physiological differences related to sexual maturity are all essential in developing and implementing an optimal diabetes regimen Due to the paucity of clinical research in children, the recommendations for children and adolescents are less likely to be based on clinical trial evidence. However, expert opinion and a review of available and relevant experimental data are summarized in the American Diabetes Association (ADA) position statement “Care of Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes” and have been updated in the recently published ADA position statement “Type 1 Diabetes Through the Life Span.” [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes: DSME & DSMS
Youth w/ T1DM & parents/caregivers should receive culturally sensitive & developmentally appropriate individualized DSME and DSMS according to national standards at diagnosis and routinely thereafter. B Youth with type 1 diabetes and parents/caregivers (for patients aged <18 years) should receive culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate individualized DSME and DSMS according to national standards at diagnosed and routinely thereafter. No matter how sound the medical regimen, it can only be effective if the family and/or affected individual are able to implement it. Family involvement is a vital component of optimal diabetes management throughout childhood and adolescence. Health care providers (the diabetes care team) who care for children and adolescents must be capable of evaluating the educational, behavioral, emotional, and psychosocial factors that impact implementation of a treatment plan and must work with the individual and family to overcome barriers or redefine goals as appropriate.

Type 1 Diabetes: Glycemic Control
An A1C goal of <7.5% is recommended across all pediatric age-groups. E Type 1 Diabetes: Glycemic Control • An A1C goal of <7.5% is recommended across all pediatric age-groups. Current standards for diabetes management reflect the need to lower glucose as safely as possible. This should be done with stepwise goals. Special consideration should be given to the risk of hypoglycemia in young children (aged <6 years) who are often unable to recognize, articulate, and/or manage their hypoglycemic symptoms. This “hypoglycemia unawareness” should be considered when establishing individualized glycemic targets. Although it was previously thought that young children were at risk for cognitive impairment after episodes of severe hypoglycemia, current data have not confirmed this notion. Furthermore, new therapeutic modalities, such as rapid- and long-acting insulin analogs, technological advances (e.g., continuous glucose monitors, low glucose suspend insulin pumps), and education, may mitigate the incidence of severe hypoglycemia [SLIDE] American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.

Blood glucose goal range A1C Rationale Before meals Bedtime/ overnight 90–130 mg/dL (5.0–7.2 mmol/L) 90–150 mg/dL (5.0–8.3 mmol/L) <7.5% A lower goal (<7.0%) is reasonable if it can be achieved without excessive hypos Type 1 Diabetes: Glycemic Control Goals should be individualized; lower goals may be reasonable. Modify BG goals in youth w/ frequent hypos or hypoglycemia unawareness. Measure postprandial BG if discrepancy between preprandial BG and A1C & to assess glycemia in basal–bolus regimens. This is Table 12.1, Blood glucose and A1C goals for type 1 diabetes across all pediatric age-groups. With these goals it is essential to keep in mind three key concepts: [CLICK] Goals should be individualized, and lower goals may be reasonable based on benefit-risk assessment. [CLICK] Blood glucose goals should be modified in children with frequent hypoglycemia or hypoglycemia unawareness. [CLICK] Postprandial blood glucose values should be measured when there is a discrepancy between preprandial blood glucose values and A1C levels and to help assess glycemia in those on basal–bolus regimens.

Type 1 Diabetes: Dyslipidemia
Treatment: Initial therapy: Optimize glucose control & MNT using a Step 2 American Heart Association diet to decrease the amount of saturated fat in the diet. B After age 10, addition of a statin is suggested in patients who, despite MNT & lifestyle changes, continue to have LDL cholesterol >160 mg/dL (4.1 mmol/L) or LDL cholesterol >130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L) and one or more CVD risk factors. E Goal of therapy is LDL <100 mg/dL. E Initial therapy should consist of optimizing glucose control and MNT using a Step 2 American Heart Association diet to decrease the amount of saturated fat in the diet. Although intervention data are sparse, the AHA categorizes children with type 1 diabetes in the highest tier for cardiovascular risk and recommends both lifestyle and pharmacological treatment for those with elevated LDL cholesterol levels. Initial therapy should be with a Step 2 AHA diet, which restricts saturated fat to 7% of total calories and restricts dietary cholesterol to 200 mg/day. After the age of 10 years, addition of a statin is suggested in patients who, despite MNT and lifestyle changes, continue to have LDL cholesterol >160 mg/dL or LDL cholesterol >130 mg/dL and one or more cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Type 1 Diabetes: Retinopathy
An initial dilated & comprehensive eye exam is recommended at age ≥10 years or after puberty has started, whichever is earlier, once the youth has had diabetes for 3–5 years. B After the initial exam, annual follow-up is recommended. Less frequent exams, every 2 years, may be acceptable on the advice of an eye care professional. E An initial dilated and comprehensive eye examination is recommended at age ≥10 years or after puberty has started, whichever is earlier, once the youth has had diabetes for 3–5 years. After the initial examination, annual routine follow-up is generally recommended. Less frequent examinations, every 2 years, may be acceptable on the advice of an eye care professional. Although retinopathy (like albuminuria) most commonly occurs after the onset of puberty and after 5–10 years of diabetes duration (60), it has been reported in prepubertal children and with diabetes duration of only 1–2 years. Referrals should be made to eye care professionals with expertise in diabetic retinopathy and experience in counseling the pediatric patient and family on the importance of early prevention/intervention.

Type 2 Diabetes Distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 can be challenging. Diabetes-associated autoantibodies and ketosis may be present in patients with features of type 2 such as obesity and acanthosis nigricans. Accurate diagnosis is critical. We covered information on screening and testing for type 2 diabetes in children & adolescents earlier, so now we’ll focus on treatment. Given the current obesity epidemic, distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children can be difficult. For example, excessive weight is common in children with type 1 diabetes. Furthermore, diabetes-associated autoantibodies and ketosis may be present in patients with features of type 2 diabetes (including obesity and acanthosis nigricans) (64). Nevertheless, accurate diagnosis is critical as treatment regimens, educational approaches, dietary advice, and outcomes differ markedly between the two diagnoses.

At diagnosis, perform: BP measurement Fasting lipid panel Assessment for albumin excretion Dilated eye exam Other screening & treatment recommendations similar to T1DM. Comorbidities may be present at time of diagnosis in youth with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, blood pressure measurement, a fasting lipid panel, assessment for albumin excretion, and a dilated eye examination should be performed at diagnosis. Thereafter, screening guidelines and treatment recommendations for hypertension, dyslipidemia, albumin excretion, and retinopathy are similar to those for youth with type 1 diabetes.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
Lifestyle change is an essential part GDM mgmt. and may suffice for many women. Add medications if needed to achieve glycemic targets. A Insulin is the preferred medication for treating hyperglycemia in GDM, as it does not cross the placenta. Metformin and glyburide may be used but both, particularly metformin, cross the placenta. All oral agents lack long-term safety data. A Recommendations for care of women with gestational diabetes include the following: Lifestyle change is an essential part GDM mgmt. and may suffice for many women. Add medications if needed to achieve glycemic targets. Insulin is the preferred medication in GDM, since it does not cross the placenta to a measurable extend. Metformin and glyburide may be used but cross the placenta, with metformin crossing to a greater extent than glyburide. All oral agents all lack long-term safety data.

General Principles for Management of Diabetes in Pregnancy
Potentially teratogenic medications (ACE inhibitors, statins, etc.) should be avoided in sexually active women of childbearing age who are not using reliable contraception. B Fasting and postprandial SMBG are recommended in both GDM and preexisting diabetes in pregnancy to achieve glycemic control. Some women with preexisting diabetes should also test blood glucose preprandially. B And finally, recommendations on general principles for management of diabetes in pregnancy are summarized here and on the following slide: Potentially teratogenic medications (ACE inhibitors, statins, etc.) should be avoided in sexually active women of childbearing age who are not using reliable contraception. Fasting and postprandial SMBG are recommended in both gestational and pregestational diabetes in pregnancy to achieve glycemic control, while preprandial testing may be considered in some women with preexisting diabetes.

General Principles for Management of Diabetes in Pregnancy (2)
Due to increased red blood cell turnover, A1C is lower in normal pregnancy than in normal nonpregnant women. A1C target in pregnancy is 6 – 6.5% (42–48mmol/mol); <6% (42 mmol/mol) may be optimal if achievable without significant hypoglycemia, but the target may be relaxed to <7% (53 mmol/mol) if necessary to prevent hypoglycemia. B In pregnant patients with diabetes and hypertension, BP targets / are suggested. E Due to increased red blood cell turnover, A1C is lower in normal pregnancy than in normal nonpregnant women. The A1C target in pregnancy is 6 – 6.5%. Less than 6% may be optimal if you can achieve it without significant hypoglycemia, but the target may be relaxed to less than 7% if necessary to prevent hypoglycemia. In pregnant patients with diabetes and hypertension, BP targets / are suggested in the interest of optimizing long-term maternal health and minimizing fetal growth impairment.

Glycemic Targets in Pregnancy
For women with gestational diabetes or preexisting type 1 or type 2 diabetes in pregnancy, the following targets are recommended: Fasting ≤95 mg/dL (5.3 mmol/L) and either One-hour postprandial ≤140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) or Two-hour postprandial ≤120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L) And for your patients with gestational diabetes or preexisting type 1 or type 2 diabetes, these targets are recommended: Fasting ≤95 mg/dL and either One-hour postprandial ≤140 mg/dL or Two-hour postprandial ≤120 mg/dL But it’s important to note that the American Diabetes Association recommends setting targets based on clinical experience, individualizing care as needed.

Recommendations: Diabetes Care in the Hospital
Perform an A1C for all patients with diabetes or hyperglycemia admitted to the hospital if not performed in the prior 3 months. B Insulin therapy for should be initiated for treatment of persistent hyperglycemia starting at a threshold ≥180 mg/dL. Then a target glucose of 140–180 mg/dL is recommended for the majority of critically ill A and noncritically ill patients. C Recommendations for diabetes care in the hospital include: Consider performing an A1C on all patients with diabetes or hyperglycemia admitted to the hospital if not performed in the prior 3 months. Insulin therapy should be initiated for treatment of persistent hyperglycemia starting at a threshold of 180 mg/dL and up. Once insulin therapy is started, a target glucose range of 140–180 mg/dL is recommended for the majority of critically ill patients and noncritically ill patients.

Recommendations: Diabetes Care in the Hospital (2)
More stringent goals, such as <140 mg/dL mmol/L) may be appropriate for selected critically ill patients, if achievable without significant hypoglycemia. C Intravenous insulin infusions should be administered using validated written or computerized protocols that allow for predefined adjustments in the infusion rate based on glycemic fluctuations and insulin dose. E More stringent goals, such as 110–140 mg/dL may be appropriate for selected critically ill patients, as long as this can be achieved without significant hypoglycemia. Intravenous insulin infusions should be administered using validated written or computerized protocols that allow for predefined adjustments in the insulin infusion rate based on glycemic fluctuations and insulin dose.

15. Diabetes Advocacy Managing the daily health demands of diabetes can be challenging. People living with diabetes should not have to face additional discrimination due to diabetes. By advocating for the rights of those with diabetes at all levels, the American Diabetes Association can help to ensure that they live a healthy and productive life. A strategic goal of the ADA is that more children and adults with diabetes live free from the burden of discrimination. [SLIDE] 238

Advocacy Position Statements
ADA publishes evidence-based advocacy statements on issues including: Diabetes and employment Diabetes and driving Diabetes management in schools, child care programs, and correctional institutions. These are important tools in educating: Schools Employers Licensing agencies Policy makers Professional.diabetes.org/SOC Advocacy Position Statements A strategic goal of the ADA is that more children and adults with diabetes live free from the burden of discrimination. One tactic for achieving this goal is to implement the ADA’s Standards of Medical Care through advocacy-oriented position statements. The ADA publishes evidence-based, peer-reviewed statements on topics such as diabetes and employment, diabetes and driving, and diabetes management in certain settings such as schools, child care programs, and correctional institutions. In addition to ADA’s clinical position statements, these advocacy position statements are important tools in educating schools, employers, licensing agencies, policymakers, and others about the intersection of diabetes medicine and the law. These can all be downloaded from the Association’s web site at professional dot diabetes dot org slash SOC. {SLIDE] American Diabetes Association. Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes.
